About

IPSM Winnipeg began in 2003, as The Friends of Grassy Narrows, a solidarity group supporting Grassy Narrows First Nation's on-going resistance to colonial aggression by the Canadian/Ontarian governments and Abitibi-Consolidated.
Later, the focus broadened to include solidarity work with other indigenous communities across "Canada", from resisting Sun Peaks "development" in BC, to doing work around Manitoban Hydro's brutal legacy and plans for expansion, to challenging Indian Affairs over police invasion of Kanehsatake.
For more background on the blockade in Grassy Narrows, you can read a flyer with an essay by Judy DaSilva, a key participant in the blockade, or look at a three article series by Dave Brophy
